BW2 has become my new favorite simply for the fact I can bring back so many memories in the Pokémon World Tournament. Dishing the hurt on gym leaders, listening to awesome music its just amazing. plus it doesn't hurt having a total fangasm when beating up Red

1) HGSS Perfect games, even if the story could've been a bit better.
2) BW/BW2 They have the best plot out of all the games, but BW was too short.
3) RSE I loved them in general!
4) DPPt/LGFR Tied in the fourth place, I'm not such a big fan of Sinnoh and Kanto. I loved the Sevii Islads though!

This is pretty accurate for me. I love how BW2 expanded the story in a new way, and included old Pokemon in the Dex, so I prefer those over BW.

HG/SS are probably my favorite games overall, even though I prefer to focus on building my adventures on the lastest versions instead of focusing on those. I still play them here and there when I'm in the mood, and I absolutely love that you can have a Pokemon follow you around. However, after playing multiple files of the original GSC games, and then beating both HG and SS, I've grown a bit tired of the story line.

The original RBY games will always have a special place in my heart. Nothing beats the feeling of when I first played Pokemon in grade school. I love the FR/LG reboots, but it's hard for me to play any of the Kanto games anymore. I've just done the journey too many times. Plus it can be painful playing any of the old games after you get used to how much nicer the graphics are in the new ones.

I played RSE pretty heavily when they were released, and it's not my favorite series of games. I wouldn't be opposed to a new Hoenn game in the future, as long as it's not a straight up remake. Still lots of good memories though, even though I much prefer Kanto/Johto.

I have to rank D/P/Pt pretty low on my list, only because I haven't played them much. I played through Platinum once after coming out of my Pokemon hiatus. That was a few years ago and my memory of it is lacking compared to the other regions, so I'm actually restarting my file. I do prefer the new Pokemon in Sinnoh over Unova, even though I think the Gen 5 games are much better overall.

Pokemon yellow was one of those games that was a huge part of my childhood. It started Pokemon for me.

Then a few years later, me and my brother got Gold and Silver, respectively. We LOVED those games. Both of our nextdoor neighbor kids who were our age played as well, we all battled and traded, and I knew a lot of people from other places who would play with me as well.

Gold definitely has the most nostalgic value for me, simply because of how young I was, and how much fun I had playing with my friends.

As for actual gameplay, I loved it. I loved the Pokemon, I loved the new features compared to Gen I, and I loved how you could go back to Kanto and collect the badges, and ultimately face Red. I liked the Team Rocket trying to get back Giovanni story as well.

Then I got Sapphire. I liked Sapphire a lot. I think ADV Pokemon Gen had the best map. It was fun to explore the routes, it seemed like they always had shortcuts you could wonder off to. Not too mention the Hidden Bases were awesome imo. This is another game I played with my friends, we would all visit eachothers bases, trade, etc.

And then Diamond.. I liked Diamond. It was a pretty good game. It's when I started to check into Pokemon EVs, although never did much with it. It was a fun game, but none of my friends played anymore, except my siblings.

And now Black.. I don't necessarily care for the game itself, as in the storyline, I thought it was okay. But this is the game where I really started getting into competitive battling.. It's hard to rate how I liked Black compared to the others, because I like it for the competitive raising/battling I've done, which is probably the most I've ever been into Pokemon. On the other, my like for the actual game isn't as strong as it was for Gold. I was playing Gold just to have fun, now I'm playing Black to competitively play.

Black and White along with the second versions, will always stand out as being my favorites of all time. Every time I play Pokemon games, I go first where my favorite Pokemon appear (looks wise), my top 25 favorite are from Unova.

Black2/White2 is my favorite video games of all video games released since video game where first released. By the end of this year, I might have 8 or 9 copies of the games.

I would have to say heartgold is by far y favorite. I like the new style of BW and it has enough new things to keep me interested, but playing with my cyndaquil is an experience no other game will be able to top.

I think it was 1 of the best Pokemon games ever made, though it could have used a little more stuff to do post game. The Team Plasma plot was the best and most unique plot used though.

I like the improvements to the battle system, compared to previous generations: the way the Pokemon are constantly animated is great, although the extreme pixelation of the player's team really bothers me (why zoom in like that when they could've just used higher-resolution sprites?), and I really, really, hate the blurry backgrounds (I'm so glad X and Y have actual backgrounds now, although I'm still not a fan of the circle of grass the Pokes stand on, never have been). There's also some great new moveset additions- enough that I imported my entire "Team" box from SoulSilver to use them in White.

The region design is terrible. Way, way too linear. From what I can tell, B2/W2 improves on this a little, but it's still the same hexagon when you get down to it. If this is an attempt to make the game easier for kids, it's a dumb idea. Kids aren't idiots. Well, most kids.

I also feel that they really dropped the ball on Pokemon design. I'd rather forget that Cryogonal, Klinklang and Gigalith ever existed, to be honest. On the other hand, I'm so glad that we finally got a region without Tentacool and Zubat. Woobat and Swoobat are great new takes on bats, although did we really need new jellyfish?

tl;dr: there's some good points to Black and White, but it's not as good as Red or Silver.
